Rowing is a classic cardiovascular exercise in the 5th round of the Hyrox competition. Participants must complete 1000m of rowing as quickly as possible to move on to the next round.
The rowing machine simulates the motion of rowing a boat. It’s a full-body workout that targets the major muscle groups and provides a low-impact form of cardio.
To prepare for the 1000m row, participants should focus on building their aerobic capacity through cardio exercises such as running or cycling. They should also practice using the rowing machine and incorporate rowing intervals to improve technique and performance.
